So I finally finished Beyond Good & Evil HD. Finally. It was good, I think.
See, I’m not that sure anymore. Beyond Good & Evil is one of those games that has an incredibly vocal fan-base. For some reasons, they often turned out to be the kind of people I value the opinion of. I heard the [...]

Smoove is now the “HiScore Pixeleditor“. At was a little bit of work, to find a new name, but at least it was worth the work. There is also new sub-page, that is dedicated the the editor: hiscore.nodepond.com

I just realized that I haven’t posted about Pioneer One. How come?
Pioneer One is an independent Canadian “TV series”. TV series is in parathesis because although the series resembles TV series like 24 or X-Files, it wasn’t actually made for TV. It is broadcasted for free on the Internet. It is also completely self-funded. The budget [...]

I saw the movie Limitless recently. If you haven’t, don’t sweat it. The Trailer pretty much gives it all away.
So the dude from A-Team plays a bad writer until he gets his hands on a secret drug that boosts his brain. From there on, he becomes a successful investment banker. All seems to be going swell [...]

Seems like I’m the only one who adores Princess Nuriko.
Nuriko is my little Nurikabe puzzle game, which i released in November 2010 for Android mobile phones. Updated it a few times this year and today added 20 more levels (total of 62 now).
I did not expect huge sales nor huge demo downloads from Android, as i did [...]

March 26, 2011http://gamedesignreviews.com/scrapbook/batlle-l-a-is-horrible/

I am disappoint. I recently watched that Battle L.A. movie everybody was getting hyped about (me included). It was not a good movie. Not at all.
It’s pretty much the “Wolverines!” mission from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 where terrorists are invading American suburbia, but repeated for two hours and the terrorists kinda look very goofy.
The main [...]

March 25, 2011http://gamedesignreviews.com/scrapbook/backlog-update-2/

You might remember my exorbitant games backlog and the rules I set myself to reduce it. Time for another recap.
The last time, I set out to play 5 games. I actually finished 4 of them and ended up playing something different for the 5th:
Diner Dash Completed this one first. I played it on the iPhone. I still [...]

March 24, 2011http://gamedesignreviews.com/scrapbook/to-3ds-or-not-to-3ds/

I have been following the news about the 3DS with great interest. I enjoyed the old DS very much and from all the implementations of 3D technology, the Nintendo one seemed like the most promising. But for some reason the release always seemed so incredibly far in the future. Suddenly, it’s tomorrow and I find [...]

To the people who got the God of War HD re-release bundle: now you’ve really done it. Apparently, the guys in charge up there got funny ideas and the market has just been hit with the fist wave of HD re-releases. So far, I count only 4 titles but because 3 of them are bundles, [...]
